i think hes the hottest thing ive ever laid eyes on.  and its not just like him, just sitting there or whatever.  its the way he talks with his eyes.  i know its acting, but i dont give a damn.  i read that he was a fan of andrew mc carthy and i remember when i was a kid watching like pretty in pink that andrew mc carthy was hot and i was like 7 and he wasnt really hot, but it was his eyes.  i swear i remember reading an article where james refers to mc carthys stares or something.  and i think thats what does it for me.  i mean, i guess hes really not that hot and hes like really short, but holy hell can act.     imo, of course. 
 
ETA:
ha ha, i made it up.  heres what he said:
"[Talking about 
Andrew McCarthy and why he inspired him to be an actor] Yeah, 
St. Elmo's Fire (1985) is probably the one that I love him in the most. He was really vulnerable, really open, I think. And he had floppy hair, kind of bad hair, and I had really bad hair for quite a long time when I was a kid." ( IMD
 
i definitely made up the eye thing in my head.  they both have that, imo.  and paul rudd.  ok, ott.
